Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

2007-08: the Alberta native started his first professional season on the Wheeling Nailers but was quickly called into AHL action in early November in a series of moves that started with Tyler Kennedy being called up by the Penguins.

Talent Analysis

A strong skater, Letestu makes his living as a playmaking center by trade. While he is not the strongest forward along the boards, Letestu is capable of dictating the play in the offensive zone.  What Letestu does lack in grit and physicality he makes up for in sound positional play. Despite being not overly effective along the boards, he is a strong skater with good balance and understands his limitations and his role within the team.  The skilled forward however needs to improve his one-on-one play if he wishes to make take the next step in professional hockey. 

Future

Depending on his performance in training camp Letestu will either be assigned to the AHL or ECHL.
